Mandrake 8.1 Released

Posted by michael on from the 586-goodness dept.

Loke and several others wrote in with notes about Mandrake Linux 8.1. Release notes are available, or download an .iso, or just order it. Looks like it includes KDE 2.2.1, which is pretty impressive...

    In that case I guess Mandrake is going to become very rich very soon!

    Right... Damn it. My system should automatically know what services I want running and what drivers I want compiled into my kernel by just reading my mind.

  4. I just installed LM 8 by jhoffoss · · Score: 5, Funny

    GODDAMMIT! I downloaded the isos for 8.0 last night and installed it this morning. At the end of this install, the pc boots, I login, test the network connection by trying to go to slashdot. Set the gateway, get to /. and see THIS as the first story. Just wonder-fucking-ful. Oh well.

    Wau, haven't thought of that before. Gee, We must quickly get more bandwidth for our servers, before the night falls, and we get hit by a wave of porn-surfers searching for a new stuff!

    Thx for the warning, you just saved our collective asses! .-))

  6. Upgrading? by cjsnell · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does anyone have any information on how to upgrade a
    Mandrake box w/o toasting the existing
    configuration? Forgive me, I'm a FreeBSD user who
    is accustomed to 'make world'. :-)
